WHEN AND WHERE

Our third match of Group D against Lewes takes place tomorrow at The Dripping Pan and it kicks off at 2pm.

THE FORM

Chelsea Women are placed at the top of the Barclays FA Women’s Super League table and are undefeated all season. We have won both of our Continental Tyres Cup games, beating West Ham 2-0 and Crystal Palace 3-0.

The goalscorers from our opening cup match versus West Ham were Bethany England and Guro Reiten, and the goals came in the second half. England impressively finished a half-volley on the angle and Reiten netted her first as a Blue from a corner kick. Against Crystal Palace, England scored a quick-fire brace and Drew Spence found the net when England unselfishly teed up her team-mate to make it three.

The Blues played the Hammers again last weekend in the WSL and we came back from being a goal down to seal a 3-1 victory. West Ham found the breakthrough on the 58th minute, then we responded with two fantastic goals in the space of two minutes when Ingle finished smartly and Ji smashed home a long-range effort. Spence added another in stoppage time to put the finishing touches on the London derby win.

Lewes are currently sixth in the FA Women’s Championship having played seven league games with three of them resulting in defeat. The Rooks are yet to record a Continental Tyres League Cup win having suffered two narrow 3-2 defeats to Crystal Palace and Reading. The East Sussex side lost 3-0 in the Championship to second place London City Lionesses last Sunday. With five matches resulting in a loss, their last victory dates back to mid-September when they edged Coventry 2-1.

CHELSEA V LEWES HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD

Saturday will be the first time we have met Lewes. Our opponents are in their second term of the Championship having been granted promotion to the second tier from the Women’s National League when they achieved the licence criteria set by the FA.
